Everything I am reading states that you shouldn't have the crib bumpers as it could cause suffication and death. Bassinets technically have cloth around the sides or at the very least tightly woven wicker which I would think could cause the same issues. I planned to use a bassinet but now I am getting nervous.

Hi, the American Academy of Pediatrics says crib bumpers have the potential to be unsafe once the baby can move around inside the sleeping area. I wouldn't worry about a 2 month or younger baby moving around in a bassinet. They just aren't mobile yet at that age (typically)
